Basic CSS rules and selectors

trying to get a border around the lorem ipsum text however border is not forming, ive checked the code ive checked for punctuation errors please help

Hey! I don’t know if you still haven’t figured it out since this was posted in november, I wonder if closing the body tag where it should be open has anything to do with it. Also did you use a selector for the first paragraph class in the css code?

Hi hope all is well:

This is about linking CSS to HTML.

The CSS style sheet is linking to my page_layout.html but not the index.html file. Why?

Here’s the code below index.html (fail to load style):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Hello Moralis</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="./css/style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Hellow Moralis!</h1>

        doloremque recusandae necessitatibus mollitia vel. Vitae.</p>

        <li>tether</li>
    </ol>

    <ul>
        <li>bitcoin</li>
        <li>ethereum</li>
        <li>tether</li>

<form action="#" method="POST">
    <label>
        Coin:
    <input type="text" name="coinName" placeholder="Coin" required />
    </label>
    <label>
        Amount:
        <input type="number" min="0" name="coinQuantity" placeholder="Amount" required />
    </label>
    <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" />
    <button type="submit">Buy</button>
</form>

    </ul>
    <p>This is an update.</p>
</body>
</html>

Please advise and let me know why index.html is failing to load the background color.

Cheers!

This is the background code that worked for page_layout.html

Hello,
I was able to get background color working with your index.html code. Is your .css file in the css folder, and is that folder in the same folder as your HTML files?
